Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- CKEditor 5 is a JavaScript rich-text editor. Starting in version 40.0.0 and prior to version 43.1.1, a
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is present in the CKEditor 5 clipboard package. This
vulnerability could be triggered by a specific user action, leading to unauthorized JavaScript code
execution, if the attacker managed to insert a malicious content into the editor, which might happen with
a very specific editor configuration. This vulnerability only affects installations where the Block
Toolbar plugin is enabled and either the General HTML Support (with a configuration that permits unsafe
markup) or the HTML Embed plugin is also enabled. A fix for the problem is available in version 43.1.1. As
a workaround, one may disable the block toolbar plugin. (CVE-2024-45613)
